it was sunday afternoon and we had one more man who was going to show up. and he was coming over to meet a 14-year-old boy. and i believe we had a description of his car, so we see it pull up, and it's an suv. >> he's in the driveway. he's backing out now.

he's backing out of the driveway. looks like he's going to park on the street. >> he gets out and goes to the rear passenger side. we think he's going to get beer or pizza or something. instead, he grabs the hand of his 5-year-old son and leads him out of the car and up the driveway. and i hear frag say -- >> oh no! he brought his son with him. he's got the child with him. >> apparently the mother, his wife, was working that day. he was in charge of the child and figured he would ride along. and there's a collective gasp that you could hear in the house. >> just going up to the front door. he has the child with him. >> go to the back. this door doesn't open. >> he's one of the guys who had a very short online chat, but then on the phone is graphic about what he wants to do. and he has this conversation

with del, who is supposedly a 14-year-old boy. >> making the turn, coming in the back door, coming through, walking into living room. >> and so i'm thinking, how do i handle this? and so he comes in, he's got the kid by the hand. he's startled. i'm going to tell you straight up right now. i'm chris hansen with "dateline nbc." we're doing a story on adults meeting children. and since you have your child here, i'm not going to pursue this. >> okay. >> but i think you know what you were doing here, don't you? >> no, i was just going to take someone to lunch. >> take a boy out to lunch you met on the internet. >> yeah, i'm sorry. >> my point is because your child is here, i think it would be best if you went ahead and left. >> yeah, i agree. >> frag was talking to the police, and you know, this is

going to be a different sort of arrest. >> rob, we're going to send this guy out of here because he's got his kid. sir, right there. you come here. you come here. let go of the child. >> as gently as the female officer scooped him up, he still had to see his father get arrested. >> just give me my son, please. can i please have my son, please? >> somebody get the car seat out of his vehicle. >> you got to remember that he's guys who work with me on these invest gagss have done other investigations with me some of the darkest parts of the world and exposed the most tragic thing you can see happen to kids, and they were just blown away. some of these guys were in tears. >> put your belt on, buddy. we're going to go for a two-minute ride. >> based upon his interview with police, the chat log and everything else, it doesn't seem

like he was going to involve the child in a sex act. it seemed like he was going to set the kid up in a room with a dvd and go do whatever he was going to do with his 14-year-old in another location. during his interview with police, he suggested that it was the lack of intimacy in his marriage that drove him to do this. pending that, relatives told us first the boy was living with his mother. then the boy went to live with other relatives because the mother took the father back in. and that was the situation. >> you got the phone records? taped conversations? am i being held up here? >> you're free to walk out this door. >> you think i want an interview? hey, how you all doing? okay.

to complete a 15-year-old. >> i don't know why. >> you treat this like you forgot to pay for some candy at the grocery store? >> i came to meet her because she told me she was bored. i said, do you want me to come down and meet you? she said, sure, come on down. i said, okay, that's it. i know it's wrong. i knew i shouldn't have done it. >> why did you do it, then? >> i don't know. just -- just because what people sweet talk me, i fall. i fall. >> in donald morrison's mind, he truly thinks that if a young teenage girl says it's okay to have sex, it's okay. >> you say, if you are ready for sex, i'll give it to you but i have erectile dysfunction, won't get real hard. sure sounds like you were preparing for a sex act. >> i was preparing for it because she said that, you know -- i said, if you saw what

i said, i said, if you want t. i will give it to you but i'm not going to force anything thaw don't want. i'm not going to force myself on you. >> that doesn't make it legal, though. >> i know it doesn't make it legal. >> i want you to be honest with me. if i wasn't here with you tonight and a young girl was, who was alone and willing to have sex, what do you think would have happened? >> i can say, yes, it probably would have if she said, let's go for it. >> and up don't see anything wrong with it? >> yes, i do but i had a lack of judgment. >> here's a guy who is middle-aged and doesn't appear to have a lot of money in his pockets who is living with his parents. >> i know my mom is going to take my computer and completely throw it away. >> you're 48 years old why

should you rely on your mommy for lack of discipline? >> because of lack of discipline and not having physical contact with anybody. just lost it. >> ultimately, donald morrison says, okay, i get what's going on here. i'm probably on "to catch a predator" right now. recognizes me. >> did you think the stories were bad because of what date line did? >> some of the things that "dateline" did. >> so when you say that you thought the stories were bad, are you talking about the stories or the guys caught in the stories? >> the guys that got caught in the stories and i know this is probably going to be on "dateline," too, so go ahead and put it on. >> well, you know who i am?

>> yes, i know who you are. i recognized it. i heard -- i recognized the voice. i don't really watch "dateline." i'm usually working 2:00 to 11:00. >> i'm chris hansen with late dooin nbc. >> i recognize you from your voice. >> and everything you've just said and done has all been recorded. >> okay. >> and if you have anything else you'd like to tell us, we'd like to hear it. >> just saying that, you know, i shouldn't have done it. this is something i normally don't go out and do. >> donald, you're free to walk out that door, that same door you walked in. >> thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> thank you for bringing -- you know, kicking me in the pants and setting me straight, chris. this will be the first and this will be the last time. i give you permission to even monitor me if you want to. >> i appreciate it. >> i'm willing, you know, if i could find a counselor, i'll go to counseling. >> maybe he should have help.

but i think, looking back on it now, there's also a little bit of showmanship going on on donald morrison's part. he says if he admits he's got a problem and thanks me for giving me a kick in the pants, as i believe he put it. >> am i going to be arrested when i go out there? >> it's not up to me. >> okay. you're free to go. >> the way this was set up, there was a tendency for the guys to go out the back door instead of the front door. >> straight back. >> he steps off that back step,

which is kind of a big step, and ft. myers police are right on him. what physical threat did he pose? probably not a great threat. >> i knew "dateline" was in there. but you never know how somebody might react when they walk out of the house after being on television. >> i'm diabetic. >> needles in your pockets? >> no, sir. >> knees to your chest and roll-up. >> can you get my glasses? >> i got them. >> the arrest is made and morrison goes into, you know, a diabetic shock of sorts and they didn't want to take any chances obviously so they actually took him to the hospital and he was actually handcuffed to the stretchers as he went in. he was treated and ultimately released and processed and charged. >> donald morrison, you're

charged with sex offense of communication with a computer to seduce a child. >> your honor, may i ask a question? >> no, sir. >> i tried to be a journalist there. i'm there to find out what is going on in these guy's minds. to show how it happens and educate people. we approach this like it's a continuing story.
